Family getaway

The reason I choose this apartment is the location and a Lobby with siting area and receptionists. Small size room to fit 3 persons. Preferable change of Clean bed sheet daily and refill toiletries if requested as I had checked in a room with a few pieces left of tissues in a box. It's a surprise that dishes left unwashed during room clean up. Lift can only fit 4 guests and squishy walk way to the rooms.

Stay

Location was good 5mins to station.
Would use them again at the same price but the price we got was on a special deal so I don't think they will offer the same price again... £250 for two nights for 4 people in London, do you think this price will be the same the next time we visit, in July/August... It will be triple the price.

Satisfactory stopover

We arrived at about 2 pm and were "greeted" by an unsmiling front desk staff who informed us that our room was not ready. We waited a while and had to enquire a couple of times before we could check-in. The apartment and bathroom were spacious.The beds and pillows were clean & comfortable. There was no hassle to gain access to the complimentary Wifi network. Some basic kitchen utensils were provided, but we preferred to eat out. There are many restaurants, food outlets, shops and mini-supermarkets within walking distance.The nearby tube stations, Bayswater & Queensway provide excellent gateway to numerous attractions and London icons. One could board public buses along nearby Bayswater Road to get to the Harrods, Victoria & Albert Museum,etc. Overall, our short 2-night stay have been pleasant and very satisfactory.

Great value London accommodation

Located an easy walk from Bayswater Underground station, it was easy to get around from here. Size of the apartment suited us although we did find the inability to turn down the heating a problem, particularly overnight. Having a kitchenette was a good option for preparation of simple meals. We would definitely consider staying here again when in London next.

Good place to stay for your London visit

The Grand Plaza was an ideal place to stay for our London visit. The benefits included being close to Paddington station for the trip to and Fromm
Heathrow airport. There are Tibe stations, shopping and places to eat closely too. Hotel room was nice as ours faced the street. Beware the summer months though as even in October the room was warm due to being south facing. The kitchenette was handy, good sized bath. Grand Plaza also have a free first clothing wash service too and a nice free fruit basket for providing a positive feedback. I would have provided positive feedback anyway. Overall a good place, staff were friendly and helpful.
